BTW, one possible reason might be that the perms got messed up and the postinstall script couldn't write to the file. Take a look at http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-03/msg00454.html and check the user/group names and privs on that file. The file ls-R is empty (zero bytes) and read on

Hi, I've create an network drive on srv1 that map \\srv2\test to k: using Windows2003 GUI. But now I want to access that from cygwin, and I can't. I've tryed to mount it using mount, but it is not working. Here is what I've done : $ mount x: /srv2_test mount: warning - /srv2_test does not exis

All: I'm using the 9/19 snapshot. The sleep in the below test script seems to be required, otherwise the script could be simplified and still cause errors. The test script works (always?) without errors on 1.3.20. Here are a couple of test runs: ~ $ /tmp/test x: 1 x: 2 x: 3 x: 4 x:
